Description

Recorded during Iron Maiden's headlining performance at the Rio Rock Festival in January 2001, the double CD Rock in Rio finds the legendary metallers in fearsome live form. Revitalised thanks to the return of original singer Bruce Dickinson for 2000's Brave New World, the one-time east London bar band clearly relished tearing through their back catalogue and choice new songs in front of a 250,000 crowd--their biggest ever--and the result is traditional Old Metal at its squealing, pummelling best. Established classics such as "Wrathchild" and "Two Minutes to Midnight" re-emphasise all that ismore… unashamedly great about proper heavy metal (the rock-solid riffing, the brick-shithouse rhythms, the outrageous solos), while the early-1980s hits "Number of the Beast" and "Run to the Hills" prove that Iron Maiden can deliver a sing-along chorus that will rattle around the inside of your skull for hours, if not days. What really makes Rock in Rio, though, is the crystal clear, almost studio-quality production and the rabid reaction of the South American throng, who do their best to drown out the band whenever presented with any of the live favourites. Proof, if any were needed, that Dickinson and compadres are up there with the rock greats. --Ian Watson
